The company’s Advanced Naval Synthetic Environment software will be utilised to enable rapid generation of synthetic scenarios. The contract includes the construction of a new building and infrastructure, with the facility set to enter service in 2019. The facility will be able to be networked with the Thai navy’s existing Submarine Command Team Trainer (SCTT) and Anti Submarine Warfare Simulator (ASWS) systems to generate new, sophisticated and realistic scenarios in all three of the training systems.

The European Defence Agency’s (EDA’s) Hybrid Manned Unmanned Platooning (Hy MUP) research project has been completed, the agency announced on 6 February. The project’s objectives were to prove the feasibility of the operation of unmanned ground systems in coordination with regular manned vehicles in future mounted combat missions. In addition to proving manned/unmanned teaming feasibility by analysing and defining use cases for platooning, the project aimed to identify safety requirements, and develop a demonstrator of a manned/unmanned hybrid fleet capable of being deployed in convoy reconnaissance and/or surveillance missions.
